River Fowey bursted it banks

[somersethedge]

I see & hear that the river Fowey has bursted it's banks and that there is wide spread flooding in St Austall..... I hope Kimbo is OK

[meebo1]

She does live up a steep hill, so I expect she is ok

[somersethedge]

true.... but water runs DOWN hill :-)

[somersethedge]

[meebo1]

But would the river be UP the hill?

I haven't ventured out yet. And we are too high anyway - at least 3 m above the road and river

[somersethedge]

pass.... but if it's inland (on higher ground) it has to go somewhere towards the sea

[somersethedge]

quite a few roads, including the main ones, are either passable with care or closed around us, so we wont be going far

Hope Kim is dry and fine....

I was thinking about Cornish but of course she lives in Bath - hopefully she is safe at home at the moment and not visiting the Old Soldier.....

I'm fine thank you Private Cats. Just paddling here in Bath, it's throwing it down.

It doesn't look good for Kim although I think she lives above a shop. This is the state of Meva' today. Knowing Kim she will be out in her wellies helping people.
